Library Donations

The Library uses a lot of “stuff,” so we are always looking for donations of materials. Here are some items we can always use:

• Books for the Collection – At Canterbury, we are fortunate to have a solid collection of books. But, we are always happy to accept more books into the family. So, we are happy to give your gently used books a good home.
• Masterpiece art – The Library can always use note cards, post cards, calendars, posters, stickers, and prints depicting masterpiece art.
• Stock photo books – These are a dying breed in the field of graphic design, but they are a gold mine for the author table. They are books containing small pictures that can be used in advertising. We cut them up and the children glue them into the books they make at the author table.
• Calendars – Don’t throw it away! If it has great pictures – especially fine art or photographs – we can use it in the library. We especially love those appointment calendars that have dozens of pictures in them.
• Note cards, invitations, stationary – It is always more fun to practice writing on fancy paper.
• Glue sticks – We go through these like water!
• Copy paper – This paper becomes the inside of the blank books the children use at the author table.
• 12 x 12 Scrapbook paper and photo paper – For our bulletin board and scrapbook.
